WHAT IS LIVING IN THE DIVINE WILL

JUNE 6, 1921 VOLUME 13
THE WORK OF REDEMPTION GREATLY SURPASSES THE WORK OF CREATION; HOWEVER, BOTH OF THEM ARE FAR SURPASSED  BY THE WORK OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE DIVINE WILL.  TO LIVE IN IT, IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE THAT THE OMNIPOTENCE OF GOD CAN PERFORM.

I WAS DISSOLVING MYSELF IN THE HOLY VOLITION OF BLESSED JESUS, THINKING TO MYSELF:  ‘WHICH ONE IS GREATER, MORE VARIED AND MORE COMPLEX - THE WORK OF CREATION OR THE WORK OF REDEMPTION?  AND MY ALWAYS ADORABLE JESUS TOLD ME:  “MY DAUGHTER, THE REDEEMING WORK IS GREATER, MORE VARIED AND COMPLEX THAN THE WORK OF CREATION; SO MUCH SO, THAT EVERY ACT OF THE REDEEMING WORK IS AN IMMENSE SEA WHICH SURROUNDS THE WORK OF CREATION.  THE WORK OF CREATION, SURROUNDED BY THE REDEEMING WORK, IS NOTHING OTHER THAN LITTLE RIVULETS SURROUNDED BY THE IMMENSE SEA OF THE WORK OF REDEMPTION.  NOW, ONE WHO LIVES IN MY WILL, WHO TAKES MY ‘FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA’ AS HER OWN LIFE, FLOWS IN THESE IMMENSE SEAS OF THE REDEEMING WORK, DIFFUSING AND SPREADING HERSELF TOGETHER WITH THEM, SO AS TO SURPASS THE VERY WORK OF CREATION.  ONLY THE LIFE IN MY FIAT CAN GIVE TRUE HONOR AND GLORY TO THE WORK OF CREATION, BECAUSE MY FIAT MULTIPLIES AND EXPANDS ITSELF EVERYWHERE - IT HAS NO LIMITS.  ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WORK OF CREATION HAS ITS LIMITS, NOR CAN IT BECOME LARGER THAN IT IS.  MY DAUGHTER, THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHICH MY OMNIPOTENCE CAN PERFORM IS A SOUL WHO LIVES IN MY FIAT.  DO YOU THINK IT IS TRIVIAL THAT MY HOLY, IMMENSE, ETERNAL WILL DESCENDS INTO ONE CREATURE, THAT PUTTING MY WILL AND HERS TOGETHER, I DISSOLVE HER IN ME, BECOMING THE LIFE OF ALL THAT THE CREATURE DOES, EVEN THE MOST TINY THINGS?  THEREFORE, HER HEARTBEAT, WORD, THOUGHT, MOTION AND BREATH ARE THOSE OF THE LIVING GOD WITHIN THE CREATURE.  SHE HIDES HEAVEN AND EARTH WITHIN HERSELF, ALTHOUGH, APPARENTLY, SHE LOOKS LIKE A CREATURE.  I COULD NOT GIVE GREATER GRACE, MORE PORTENTOUS PRODIGY, MORE HEROIC SANCTITY THAN MY FIAT.  SEE, THE WORK OF CREATION IS GREAT; THE WORK OF REDEMPTION IS EVEN GREATER; BUT MY FIAT WHICH MAKES THE CREATURE LIVE IN MY WILL SURPASSES BOTH OF THEM.  IN FACT, IN THE CREATION MY FIAT CREATED AND DELIVERED MY WORKS, BUT DID NOT REMAIN AS CENTER OF LIFE WITHIN THE CREATED THINGS.  IN THE REDEMPTION MY FIAT REMAINED AS CENTER OF LIFE IN MY HUMANITY, BUT DID NOT REMAIN AS CENTER OF LIFE IN THE CREATURES; RATHER, IF THEIR WILL DOES NOT ADHERE TO MINE, THEY RENDER VAIN THE FRUITS OF MY REDEMPTION.  BUT THE ‘FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA’ WILL BE THE TRUE GLORY OF THE WORK OF CREATION AND THE FULFILLMENT OF THE COPIOUS FRUITS OF THE WORK OF REDEMPTION.  HERE IS THE REASON I WANT FROM YOU NOTHING OTHER THAN MY FIAT, THAT IT MAY BE YOUR LIFE, AND THAT YOU LOOK AT NOTHING BUT MY WILL:  BECAUSE I WANT TO BE THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE.”

FOR ONE WHO DOES THE DIVINE WILL, ALL THE WORKS OF HER LIFE ARE PRESENT AND IN ACT.

I WAS FUSING MYSELF IN MY SWEET JESUS, BUT I SAW MYSELF AS SO MISERABLE THAT I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO TELL HIM.  IN ORDER TO CONSOLE ME, MY ALWAYS ADORABLE JESUS TOLD ME:  “MY DAUGHTER, NEITHER PAST NOR FUTURE EXIST FOR ONE WHO DOES MY WILL, BUT EVERYTHING IS IN A PRESENT ACT.  SINCE ALL THAT I DID AND SUFFERED IS IN A PRESENT ACT - SO THAT, IF I WANT TO GIVE SATISFACTION TO THE FATHER, OR DO GOOD TO THE CREATURES, I CAN DO IT, JUST AS IF I WERE IN THE ACT OF SUFFERING AND OPERATING - ALL THAT THE CREATURE CAN SUFFER AND DO IN MY WILL IS IDENTIFIED WITH MY PAINS AND WORKS, AND THEY BECOME ONE SINGLE THING.  SO, WHEN THE SOUL WANTS TO GIVE ME A PROOF OF LOVE WITH HER PAINS, SHE CAN TAKE THE PAINS SUFFERED AT OTHER TIMES, WHICH ARE IN ACT, AND GIVE THEM TO ME, IN ORDER TO REPLICATE HER LOVE AND SATISFACTIONS FOR ME.  IN SEEING THE INDUSTRIOUSNESS OF THE CREATURE WHO PLACES HER ACTS AS IF ON A COUNTER IN ORDER TO MULTIPLY THEM AND COLLECT THE INTEREST, TO GIVE ME LOVE AND SATISFACTION, TO BE MORE ENRICHED AND NOT TO BE OUTDONE IN LOVE, I GIVE HER MY PAINS AND MY WORKS, IN ORDER TO LOVE HER AND TO BE LOVED.”

ACTIVITY OF THE SOUL IN THE IMMENSE SEA OF THE DIVINE WILL.  HER ACTS REACH ALL CREATURES AND THE VERY CREATOR.

CONTINUING IN MY USUAL STATE, I FOUND MYSELF OUTSIDE OF MYSELF, IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOST EXTENSIVE SEA.  I COULD SEE A MACHINE, AND AS THE ENGINE MOVED, WATER WOULD SPURT OUT FROM ALL SIDES OF THIS MACHINE.  RISING UP TO HEAVEN, THESE WAVES OF WATER SPOUTED UPON ALL SAINTS AND ANGELS AND REACHING, THE THRONE OF THE ETERNAL ONE, THEY POURED IMPETUOUSLY AT HIS FEET, AND DESCENDED AGAIN INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SAME SEA.  I REMAINED ASTONISHED IN SEEING THIS, AND I SAID TO MYSELF:  ‘WHAT CAN THIS MACHINE BE?  A LIGHT WHICH CAME FROM THAT VERY SEA TOLD ME:  “THE SEA IS MY WILL, THE MACHINE IS THE SOUL WHO LIVES IN MY VOLITION, THE ENGINE IS THE HUMAN WILL OPERATING IN THE DIVINE VOLITION.  EVERY TIME THE SOUL MAKES HER OWN SPECIAL INTENTIONS IN MY VOLITION, THE ENGINE PUTS THE MACHINE INTO MOTION.  AND SINCE MY WILL IS LIFE OF THE BLESSED AS WELL AS OF THE MACHINE, THERE IS NO WONDER THAT MY WILL, WHICH SPRINGS OUT FROM THIS MACHINE, ENTERS HEAVEN GLOWING WITH LIGHT AND GLORY, SPOUTING UPON ALL, UP TO MY THRONE, AND THEN DESCENDS AGAIN INTO THE SEA OF MY WILL ON EARTH FOR THE GOOD OF THE PILGRIM SOULS.  MY WILL IS EVERYWHERE AND THE ACTS DONE IN MY WILL RUN EVERYWHERE - BOTH IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.  THEY RUN TO THE PAST, BECAUSE MY WILL EXISTED; TO THE PRESENT, SINCE MY WILL HAS LOST NOTHING OF ITS ACTIVITY; TO THE FUTURE, SINCE IT WILL EXIST ETERNALLY.  HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE ACTS IN MY WILL!  SINCE MY WILL CONTAINS ALWAYS NEW CONTENTMENTS, THESE ACTS ARE NEW CONTENTMENTS EVEN FOR THE BLESSED; THEY COMPENSATE FOR THE ACTS OF THE SAINTS, WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN MADE IN MY WILL, THEY ARE NEW GRACES FOR ALL CREATURES.”

AFTERWARDS I REMAINED ALL AFFLICTED BECAUSE I HAD NOT SEEN MY SWEET JESUS.  AND HE, MOVING IN MY INTERIOR, CLASPED ME IN HIS ARMS AND TOLD ME:  “MY DAUGHTER, WHY ARE YOU SO AFFLICTED?  AM I NOT THE SEA?”

IN THE LIGHT OF THE DIVINE WILL THE CREATURE RECEIVES THE IMAGE OF THE DIVINE PERSONS, AND THEIR DIVINE VOLITION BECOMES ACTOR OF EVERYTHING WITHIN HER, CONSTITUTING HER QUEEN OF ALL.

CONTINUING IN MY USUAL STATE, I FOUND MYSELF OUTSIDE OF MYSELF, AND I FOUND MY SWEET JESUS, MY LIFE AND MY ALL, INNUMERABLE SUNS OF LIGHT WERE COMING OUT FROM HIM, AND SURROUNDED HIM.  I FLEW INTO THE MIDDLE OF THAT LIGHT, AND THROWING MYSELF INTO HIS ARMS, I SQUEEZED HIM VERY TIGHTLY, TELLING HIM;  ‘FINALLY I FOUND YOU.  NOW I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ANY MORE.  YOU MAKE ME WAIT SO LONG, AND I REMAIN WITHOUT LIFE, WITHOUT YOU.  BUT I CANNOT BE WITHOUT LIFE, THEREFORE NOW I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ANY MORE.’  AND I SQUEEZED HIM MORE TIGHTLY FOR FEAR THAT HE MIGHT ESCAPE; AND JESUS, AS THOUGH ENJOYING MY SQUEEZES, TOLD ME; ‘MY DAUGHTER, DO NOT FEAR, I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU EITHER.  IF YOU CANNOT BE WITHOUT ME, NEITHER CAN I BE WITHOUT YOU, AND TO MAKE YOU BE SURE THAT I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU, I WANT TO CONNECT YOU WITH MY OWN LIGHT.”  I REMAINED SO IMMERSED AND INTERWOVEN WITHIN THE LIGHT OF JESUS THAT IT SEEMED TO ME THAT I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE FOUND THE WAY OUT.  HOW HAPPY I FELT, AND HOW MANY THINGS I UNDERSTOOD IN THAT LIGHT!  I LACK THE WORDS TO EXPRESS MYSELF.  I JUST REMEMBER THAT HE SAID TO ME:  “DAUGHTER OF MY WILL, THIS LIGHT THAT YOU SEE IS NOTHING OTHER THAN MY WILL WHICH WANTS TO CONSUME YOUR WILL IN ORDER TO GIVE YOU THE SHAPE OF OUR IMAGE - THE THREE DIVINE PERSONS - IN SUCH A WAY THAT, TRANSFORMING YOU COMPLETELY INTO OURSELVES.  WE WILL LEAVE OUR VOLITION IN YOU AS DIVINE ACTOR, WHICH MATCHES US IN EVERYTHING WE DO.  SO, OUR IMAGES WILL COME OUT FROM OURSELVES, AND OUR VOLITION, ACTING WITHIN YOU, WILL TAKE AS MANY OF THEM FROM YOU.  OH, HOW THE PURPOSE OF CREATION WILL BE FULFILLED!

THE ECHO OF OUR VOLITION WILL BE THE ECHO OF OUR OWN VOLITION POSSESSED BY YOU; THE EXCHANGES WILL BE MUTUAL; LOVE WILL BE RECIPROCAL; WE WILL BE IN FULL HARMONY, AND THE CREATURE WILL DISAPPEAR WITHIN HER CREATOR.  THEN, NOTHING ELSE WILL BE LACKING TO OUR JOY, TO OUR HAPPINESS, FOR WHICH WE DELIVERED CREATION.  THE ‘LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE AND LIKENESS’ WILL HAVE ITS EFFECT.  OUR WILL ALONE, AS ACTOR WITHIN THE CREATURE, WILL GIVE COMPLETION TO EVERYTHING, AND THE CREATION WILL BRING US THE DIVINE PURPOSE, AND WE WILL RECEIVE IT IN OUR WOMB AS OUR WORK, JUST AS WE DELIVERED IT.  AND THEN, IF YOU CANNOT BE WITHOUT ME, IT IS THE ECHO OF MY LOVE THAT RESOUNDS IN YOUR HEART, AND UNABLE TO BE WITHOUT YOU, IT REVERBERATES, AND YOU, MOVED, LOOK FOR THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU SO MUCH.  AND I, SEEING THAT YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR ME, FEEL THE ECHO OF YOUR LOVE WITHIN MINE, AND I FEEL DRAWN TO SEND YOU A NEW CURRENT OF LOVE, SO THAT YOU MAY LOOK FOR ME MORE.”  AND I:  AH, MY LOVE, SOMETIMES, WHEN I LOOK FOR YOU, YOU DO NOT COME, AND THEREFORE, NOW THAT I HAVE FOUND YOU, I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ANY MORE.  I WILL NO LONGER GO BACK INTO MY BED - I CAN’T.  YOU MADE ME WAIT TOO LONG, AND I FEAR THAT IF I GO BACK, YOU WILL REPEAT YOUR PRIVATIONS.’  AND I SQUEEZED HIM MORE TIGHTLY, REPEATING;  ‘ I WON’T LEAVE YOU ANY MORE, I WON’T LEAVE YOU ANY MORE.’  AND JESUS, ALTHOUGH HE ENJOYED MY SQUEEZES, TOLD ME:  “MY BELOVED DAUGHTER, YOU ARE RIGHT THAT YOU CANNOT BE WITHOUT ME, WITHOUT YOUR LIFE.  AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH MY WILL?  IT IS MY WILL THAT WANTS YOU TO RETURN INTO YOUR BED.  DO NOT FEAR, I DO NOT LEAVE YOU.  I WILL LEAVE THE CURRENT OF THE LIGHT OF MY WILL BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND WHENEVER YOU WANT ME, YOU WILL TOUCH THE CURRENT OF THE LIGHT OF MY VOLITION AND, ON ITS WINGS, I WILL SOON BE WITH YOU.  THEREFORE, GO BACK, BUT FOR NOTHING OTHER THAN TO ALLOW MY WILL TO ACCOMPLISH ITS DESIGNS, AND THE PATH IT WANTS TO MAKE WITHIN YOU.  I MYSELF WILL ACCOMPANY YOU, TO GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO GO BACK.”  BUT, OH GOODNESS OF JESUS, IT SEEMED THAT IF HE DID NOT HAVE MY CONSENT, HE HIMSELF WOULD NOT FEEL LIKE MAKING ME GO BACK.  AND AS SOON AS I SAID;  ‘JESUS, DO WHAT YOU WANT’, I FOUND MYSELF BACK IN MYSELF.  NOW, THE WHOLE DAY I FELT SURROUNDED BY LIGHT, AND WHENEVER I WANTED HIM, I TOUCHED THE LIGHT AND HE CAME.  THE FOLLOWING DAY HE CARRIED ME OUTSIDE OF MYSELF, AND MADE ME SEE ALL CREATED THINGS, OF WHICH NOT ONLY WAS JESUS CREATOR AND DOMINATE, BUT FROM HIM CAME ALSO THE LIFE OF THE PRESERVATION OF ALL THINGS.  THE CURRENT OF THE CREATIVE POWER WAS IN CONTINUOUS RELATIONS WITH THEM, AND IF THAT SHOULD NOT BE, ALL THINGS WOULD RESOLVE INTO NOTHING.  THEN, MY SWEET JESUS TOLD ME:  “TO THE DAUGHTER OF MY WILL I WANT TO GIVE SUPREMACY OVER EVERYTHING.  MY DOMINION AND HERS MUST BE ONE.  IF I AM KING, SHE MUST BE QUEEN; AND IF I GIVE YOU KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING, IT IS BECAUSE I WANT NOT ONLY THAT YOU KNOW MY DOMINIONS, BUT THAT YOU DOMINATE WITH  ME AND CONCUR IN THE PRESERVATION OF ALL CREATED THINGS.  JUST AS MY WILL EXTENDS FROM ME OVER ALL, I WANT IT TO EXTEND WITHIN YOU.”   THEN HE MADE ME NOTICE A POINT OF THE WORLD FROM WHICH BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING OUT.  AND HE:  “SEE, THERE ARE STATESMEN WHO WANT TO DECIDE THE LOTS OF THE KINGDOMS; BUT THEY DID IT WITHOUT ME, AND WHERE I AM NOT, THERE CANNOT BE LIGHT.  THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT THE SMOKE OF THEIR PASSIONS WHICH BLINDS THEM MORE.  THEREFORE, THEY WILL ACHIEVE NOTHING GOOD.  IT WILL ONLY SERVE THEM TO EMBITTER ONE ANOTHER AND CAUSE MORE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES…  POOR PEOPLES, DIRECTED BY BLIND AND INTERESTED MEN!  THESE MEN WILL BE POINTED OUT AS THE LAUGHINGSTOCK  OF HISTORY, GOOD ONLY AT BRINGING RUIN AND CONFUSION.  BUT LET US WITHDRAW, LET US LEAVE THEM AT THE MERCY OF THEMSELVES, SO THAT THEY MAY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO DO WITHOUT ME.”  THEN HE DISAPPEARED, AND I FOUND MYSELF INSIDE MYSELF.

THE HUMAN WILL ACTING IN THE DIVINE WILL

CONTINUING IN MY USUAL STATE, MY ALWAYS ADORABLE JESUS CAME ALL TENDERNESS, CLASPED ME IN HIS ARMS, KISSED ME, AND SAID TO ME, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES:  “MY DAUGHTER, THE DAUGHTER OF MY WILL, HOW DEAR YOU ARE TO ME!  LISTEN, AS YOUR WILL ENTERS INTO MINE, IT EMPTIES YOU OF YOURSELF, AND MINE ENTERS, ACTING IN YOU; AND AS MINE ACTS, YOURS RECEIVES THE STRENGTH OF THE CREATIVE POWER AND REMAINS ACTING IN ME.  AND SINCE I AM ONE SINGLE POINT, CONTAINING EVERYTHING, EMBRACING EVERYTHING, DOING EVERYTHING, I SEE YOUR WILL ACTING IN ME WITH MY CREATIVE POWER, WANTING TO GIVE ME EVERYTHING AND REPAY ME FOR ALL, AND WITH MY HIGHEST CONTENTMENT I SEE IT BEFORE ME FROM THE VERY FIRST INSTANT IN WHICH I DELIVERED THE WHOLE CREATION; AND LEAVING ALL BEHIND, IT COMES FORWARD - AS IF YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE TO BE CREATED BY ME, IN WHOM NO SPLITTING OF WILLS EXISTS - BETWEEN ME AND YOU - JUST AS I WOULD HAVE WANTED THE FIRST MAN TO BE - AND IT GIVES ME HONOR, GLORY, LOVE, AS IF CREATION HAD NOT GONE OUT OF MY WILL.  WHAT FLAVOR, WHAT CONTENTMENT I FEEL!  YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT.  THE ORDER OF CREATION IS GIVEN BACK TO ME; THE HARMONIES, THE JOYS, ALTERNATE TOGETHER.  I SEE THIS HUMAN WILL ACTING IN ME, IN THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, IN THE WAVES OF THE SEA, IN THE FLICKERING OF THE STARS - IN EVERYTHING; AND IT GIVES ME THE GLORY OF ALL THE GOODS WHICH THESE CREATED THINGS GIVE TO MAN.  WHAT HAPPINESS!  YOU ARE LIKE ME IN EVERYTHING, WITH THIS DIFFERENCE:  I AM ONE SINGLE POINT, AND YOU, LITTLE BY LITTLE, AS YOU OPERATE, THINK, SPEAK, LOVE IN MY WILL, TAKE MORE SPACE AND FORM DIVINE PLACES.”

GOD IS THE PRIME MOTION OF THE WHOLE CREATION AND ONE WHO OPERATES IN THE DIVINE WILL OPERATES IN THE PRIME MOTION.

I FELT ALL IMMERSED IN THE DIVINE VOLITION AND I SAID TO MY JESUS;  ‘AH, I BEG YOU, NEVER LET ME GO OUT OF YOUR MOST HOLY WILL.  GRANT THAT I ALWAYS THINK, SPEAK, WORK AND LOVE IN YOUR ADORABLE WILL’.  NOW, AS I WAS SAYING THIS, I FELT SURROUNDED BY A MOST PURE LIGHT, AND THEN I SAW MY HIGHEST AND ONLY GOOD, TELLING ME;  ‘MY BELOVED DAUGHTER, I LOVE SO MUCH THESE ACTS DONE IN MY WILL THAT, AS SOON AS THE SOUL ENTERS INTO IT IN ORDER TO ACT, THE SHADOW OF MY LIGHT SURROUNDS HER, AND I RUN, SO THAT MY ACT AND HERS MAY BE ONE.  SINCE I AM THE PRIME ACT OF THE WHOLE CREATION, WITHOUT MY PRIME MOTION ALL CREATED THINGS WOULD REMAIN PARALYZED, WITHOUT STRENGTH AND INCAPABLE OF THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT.  LIFE IS IN THE MOTION; WITHOUT IT, EVERYTHING IS DEAD.  I AM THE PRIME MOTION AND I GIVE LIFE AND ACTION TO ALL OTHER MOTIONS, THEREFORE AT MY FIRST MOTION CREATION STARTS TO ROTATE.  IT HAPPENS AS TO AN ENGINE:  AT THE FIRST MOTION OF THE FIRST WHEEL, ALL OTHER WHEELS START SPINNING.  SEE THEN, HOW NATURAL IT IS FOR ONE WHO LIVES IN MY WILL TO MOVE IN MY PRIME MOTION AND OPERATING IN IT, TO FIND HERSELF AND TO OPERATE IN THE MOTION OF ALL THE CREATURES.  AND AS THE CREATURE FLOWS IN MY MOTION, I SEE HER AND FEEL, FLOWING IN MY OWN MOTION AND IN ALL THE MOTIONS OF CREATURES, GIVING ME AS MANY DIVINE ACTS FOR AS MANY OFFENSIVE HUMAN ACTS AS THE OTHERS DO; AND THIS, ONLY BECAUSE SHE OPERATED WITHIN MY PRIME MOTION.  THEREFORE I SAY THAT ONE WHO LIVES IN MY WILL SUBSTITUTES FOR ALL, DEFENDS ME FROM ALL AND PUTS MY MOTION - MY OWN LIFE - IN A SAFE PLACE.

THIS IS WHY TO OPERATE IN MY WILL IS THE PRODIGY OF PRODIGIES, BUT WITHOUT CLAMOR, WITHOUT HUMAN ACCLAMATION.  IT IS MY TRUE TRIUMPH OVER THE WHOLE CREATION; AND BEING A FULLY DIVINE TRIUMPH, THE HUMAN REMAINS SILENT, HAVING NO EQUIVALENT WORDS WITH WHICH TO ACCLAIM THE TRIUMPH OF MY SUPREME WILL.”

FEBRUARY 20, 1924 VOLUME 16
LUISA IS THE FIRST ONE IN THE CHURCH TO LIVE IN THE DIVINE WILL.  JESUS HAS NOT MANIFESTED IT TO ANYONE BEFORE.

WITH ALL THAT MY SWEET JESUS HAS TOLD ME ABOUT HIS MOST HOLY WILL, I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF:  ‘HOW CAN IT EVER BE POSSIBLE THAT UNTIL NOW THERE HAS BEEN NOT ONE SOUL WHO LIVED IN THE DIVINE VOLITION AND THAT I AM THE FIRST ONE?  WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS THERE HAVE BEEN BEFORE ME, AND IN A MORE PERFECT WAY, A MORE ACTIVE WAY THAN I!’  BUT AS I WAS SAYING THIS, MY ALWAYS ADORABLE JESUS MOVED IN MY INTERIOR AND TOLD ME:  “MY DAUGHTER, WHY DO YOU NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE GIFT, THE GRACE - YOUR MISSION OF HAVING BEEN CALLED IN A WAY ALL SPECIAL AND NEW TO LIVE IN MY WILL?  IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER SOULS IN MY CHURCH BEFORE YOU, SINCE THE LIVING IN MY WILL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, WHICH INTERESTS ME THE MOST AND FOR WHICH I CARE VERY MUCH, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN TRACES, RULES AND TEACHINGS IN MY CHURCH OF THE ONE DESTINED TO LIVE IN MY WILL.  THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE KNOWLEDGE, THE ATTRACTION, THE EFFECTS AND THE GOODS CONTAINED IN THIS LIVING IN MY WILL.  IF THERE HAD BEEN MANY OTHER MANIFESTATIONS, I WOULD HAVE USED MY POWER, LETTING THE SUBLIME WAY OF LIVING IN MY WILL SHINE THROUGH.  IN VIEW OF MY GREAT DELIGHT, AND IN SEEING MYSELF HONORED BY THE SOUL WITH THE GLORY OF MY OWN WILL, I WOULD HAVE PUSHED THAT SOUL SO MUCH THAT SHE COULD NOT HAVE RESISTED MANIFESTING WHAT I WANTED.  JUST AS THERE ARE SAYINGS AND TEACHINGS ON LIVING RESIGNED, PATIENT, OBEDIENT, ETC., THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS AS WELL.  IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY FUNNY AND STRANGE IF I HAD KEPT HIDDEN THE THING, WHICH I LOVE THE MOST; RATHER, THE MORE ONE LOVES SOMETHING, THE MORE HE WANTS TO MAKE IT KNOWN; THE MORE DELIGHT AND GLORY A WAY OF LIVING BRINGS ME, THE MORE I WANT TO DIFFUSE IT.  IT IS NOT IN THE NATURE OF TRUE LOVE TO HIDE WHAT CAN MAKE OTHERS HAPPY AND RICH.  IF YOU KNEW HOW I LONGED FOR THIS TIME OF THE COMING TO LIGHT OF MY LITTLE NEWBORN OF MY WILL TO MAKE YOU LIVE IN MY VOLITION!  WHAT A COURT OF GRACE I PREPARED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE INTENT!  YOU WOULD REMAIN STUNNED AND WOULD BE MORE GRATEFUL AND ATTENTIVE TO ME.

AH, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE IN MY WILL?  IT MEANS TO MAKE THE PURE JOYS OF THE PURPOSE OF CREATION - MY INNOCENT PLEASURES FOR WHICH I CREATED MAN - RETURN TO ME.  IT MEANS TO REMOVE ALL THE BITTERNESS THAT THE PERFIDIOUS HUMAN WILL GAVE ME ALMOST AT THE DAWN OF CREATION.  IT MEANS A CONTINUOUS EXCHANGE OF WILLS, HUMAN AND DIVINE, AS THE SOUL, FEARING HER OWN, LIVES FROM MINE, WHILE MINE KEEPS FILLING THE SOUL WITH JOYS, LOVE AND INFINITE GOODS.  OH, HOW HAPPY I FEEL IN BEING ABLE TO GIVE WHATEVER I WANT TO THIS SOUL, BECAUSE MY WILL CONTAINS SUCH CAPACITY AS TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE EVERYTHING!  THEREFORE, THERE ARE NO LONGER DIVISIONS BETWEEN ME AND HER, BUT STABLE UNION, IN WORKING, IN THINKING, IN LOVING, BECAUSE MY WILL COMPENSATES FOR EVERYTHING, SO WE REMAIN IN PERFECT ACCORD AND IN COMMUNION OF GOODS.  THIS HAD BEEN THE PURPOSE OF THE CREATION OF MAN:  TO MAKE HIM LIVE AS OUR OWN CHILD AND TO SHARE ALL OUR GOODS WITH HIM, SO THAT HE MIGHT BE FULLY HAPPY,, AND WE MIGHT BE AMUSED WITH HIS HAPPINESS.

NOW, TO LIVE IN MY WILL IS EXACTLY THIS:  TO HAVE THE PURPOSE, THE JOYS, THE FEASTS OF CREATION RETURNED TO US.  AND YOU SAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT HIDDEN IN MY CHURCH, WITHOUT MANIFESTING IT?  I WOULD HAVE TURNED HEAVEN AND EARTH UPSIDE DOWN; I WOULD HAVE OVERWHELMED THE SOULS WITH AN IRRESISTIBLE STRENGTH, IN ORDER TO MAKE KNOWN THAT WHICH WILL BE THE FULFILLMENT OF CREATION.  DO YOU SEE HOW MUCH I CARE FOR THIS LIVING IN MY WILL, WHICH PLACES THE SEAL UPON ALL MY WORKS, SO THAT ALL OF THEM MAY BE COMPLETE?  IT MAY SEEM TO YOU THAT THIS IS NOTHING, OR THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR THINGS IN MY CHURCH.  NO, NO - FOR ME, ON THE CONTRARY, IT IS THE ALL OF MY WORKS, AND YOU MUST APPRECIATE IT AS MUCH, AND BE MORE ATTENTIVE IN FULFILLING THE MISSION I WANT FROM YOU.”

JULY 9, 1918, VOLUME 12
IN GOD, ALL HIS PERFECTIONS ARE LOVE, BUT IT IS HIS WILL THAT DIRECTS AND GIVES LIFE TO EVERYTHING.

CONTINUING IN MY USUAL STATE, MY SWEET JESUS CAME AND TOLD ME:  “MY DAUGHTER, I AM ALL LOVE.  I AM LIKE A FOUNT WHICH CONTAINS NOTHING BUT LOVE, AND EVERYTHING WHICH MIGHT ENTER INTO THIS FOUNT, LOSES ITS QUALITIES AND BECOMES LOVE.  THEREFORE,  JUSTICE, WISDOM, GOODNESS, FORTITUDE, ETC. ARE NOTHING OTHER THAN LOVE IN ME.  BUT WHO DIRECTS THIS FOUNT, THIS LOVE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE - MY WILL.  MY WILL DOMINATES, RULES AND ORDERS.  ALL MY QUALITIES CARRY THE MARK OF MY VOLITION - THE LIFE OF MY WILL; AND WHEREVER THEY FIND MY VOLITION THEY MAKE FEAST.  WHERE THEY DO NOT FIND IT, SADDENED, THEY WITHDRAW.

NOW, MY DAUGHTER, ONE WHO LETS HERSELF BE DOMINATED BY MY WILL AND WHO LIVES IN MY VOLITION, LIVES WITHIN MY VERY FOUNT, BEING INSEPARABLE FROM ME, WHILE EVERYTHING IN HER TURNS INTO LOVE.  THEREFORE, HER THOUGHTS ARE LOVE; LOVE IS HER WORD, HEARTBEAT, ACTION, STEP - EVERYTHING.  IT IS ALWAYS DAYLIGHT FOR HER.  BUT IF SHE MOVES FROM MY WILL, IT IS ALWAYS NIGHT FOR HER, AND ALL THAT IS HUMAN - MISERIES AND WEAKNESSES COME OUT INTO THE FIELD AND DO THEIR OWN CRAFTING - BUT WHAT A CRAFTING!  A WORK TO BE WEPT OVER!
